they bee that way yea sometime God knowes in smaller causes than at the death of husband father or mother But as al things haue their time so haue sorrowe and teares also which are best dried vp with the towell of continuaunce which gaue nowe iust occasion vnto Apollonius to cast off drowsie sorrowe and to prouide for the funeralles of his father in lawe which he accomplished with so seasonable expedition and in so honourable a sort as was féemely for so mighty a king and so vertuous a prince whome hée buried among the auntient race of Kings his auncestours in the Temple within the citie of Pentapolis Which beeing all finished as it is also a worke of charitie to fulfill the will of the dead he applied himselfe to execute his fathers testament wherin he had giuen halfe his kingdome vnto Apollonius and the other halfe to Tharsia his néece to haue and to holde to them and to their heires for euer CHAP. XXIII ¶ How Apollonius rewarded the fisherman that releeued him after hee had suffered shipwracke howe hee dealt also with olde Calamitus and likewise with the Pyrates that stole away Tharsia BY this time when all cares were banished and Apollonius inioyed his kingdome in quiet possession he gaue himselfe sometimes to delight as other Princes are wont to do And it fortuned that on a day when he had dined he walked foorth for recreation vnto the sea side with his wife and a fewe seruants And when hée came there he sawe a small fisher boat fléeting vnder saile which hee thought by all signes he should knowe well for hee supposed it to be the fishermans boat which succoured him when he had suffered shipwracke in sailing from Tharsus towardes Pentapolis Wherefore hee commaunded some of his seruantes to take an other shippe which rode at anchor there on the shore to go after and take him and to bring the fisherman vnto him vnto the Court When the poore man saw himselfe boorded of so many and so gay a multitude hée feared they had béene pyrates and that they woulde haue slaine him and he fell downe on his knées and besought them to haue compassion vpon him he was but a poore fisherman and had not that which they sought for it were others that were more fit for their purpose to méete withall such as ventured further in greater vesselles carrying foorth great summes of money and bringing home plenty of costly merchandize As for him they should not only find miserable pouertie in ransacking his boat but if they were also determined to take away his life from him they should likewise with the same stroke bereaue the liues of his poore wife and many small Children which were maintained by his hand onely These or the like words vttered then the poore fisherman But they smiling in their conceits and mindefull of their Princes commaundement bade him not feare that they would robbe him but saide that he must goe with them and brought him away vnto the court And when he was come into the kings presence Apollonius knewe him well and saide vnto the Quéene and the Nobles that were about him Beholde this is the man that receiued me into his house and succoured mée when I suffered shipwracke and shewed me the way into the Citie by which meanes I came acquainted with good king Altistrates And he rose out of his seate and embraced him and said I am Apollonius Prince of Tyrus whome thou diddest succour and therefore bée of good chéere for thou shalt be rewarded And the poore fisherman wept excéedingly for ioy And Apollonius commaunded two hundred sestereies of gold to be giuen vnto him and thirty seruants and twenty handmaides and fortie horses and fiftie sutes of apparell and a faire pallace to dwel in and made him an earle and vsed no man so familiarly as he did him all the dayes of his life Nowe it was not long after that these things were done but one called Calamitus the master of the ship of Tyrus an olde man who as we haue before declared shewed vnto Apollonius as hée was walking by the sea side with Lucina that Antiochus and his daughter were dead and the kingdome was reserued for him came before Apollonius and falling downe on his knées Remember me my most gratious Lorde Apollonius saide hée since the time I tolde your grace the good tidings of king Antiochus death Then king Apollonius tooke him vp by the hand and caused him to sit downe by him and talked familiarly with him and gaue him great thankes and made him a great lord in his countrey Thus Apollonius busied himselfe not onely in bestowing himselfe curteously at home but he also prouided as well for the quiet gouernement of the state abroad as it appeared by the diligence of his officers who hauing lately taken certaine pyrates vpon the sea brought them to Pentapolis where Apollonius then remained to haue iustice executed vpon them When they were arriued they were found guilty of the facte of which they were accused and the next day being appointed for them to suffer when they came vnto the gallowes they confessed many robberies and among store how once at Tharsus they rescued a maide named Tharsia from a villaine that woulde haue slaine her and brought her to Machilenta where they solde her to him that offered most money and hée which bought her as they thought was a bawd When the citizens who were none of them ignorant of the Ladie Tharsias aduentures heard this they stayed execution and sent word vnto king Apollonius saying May it please your grace to vnderstand that we haue certaine pyrates at the gallowes ready to be exeted it appeareth that they be those that stole away the Lady Tharsia your daughter from Tharsus and sold her to the bawd at Machilenta Which when we perceiued we thought it good to know your Graces pleasure what shall be doone with them Apollonius thanked them and willed the pirats to be brought before him examined them diligently and found that they were the same men indéede that had preserued Tharsias life And hée gaue great thankes vnto God and them and imbraced them willingly pardoned them their liues And for that he knew that the sinister means which they hitherto had insued was caused most by constraint for want of other trade or abilitie to liue by he therefore made them all knights and gaue them plenty of gold and siluer and indowed them also with great possessions CHAP. XXIIII ¶ How Apollonius had a yoong sonne and heire by his wife Lucina likewise of Apollonius age and how he died with some other accidents thereunto incident WHile king Apollonius thus passed foorth his time in rewarding his friends which had doone him pleasure in his aduersitie the part of a thankeful and good natured man and also vnto his enemies in ministring iustice with mercie which is the duetie of a vertuous prince the quéene Lucina in the meane season conceiued childe and grewe euery daie

to be my sonne in law Tell me thy minde out of hand for I attend thine answere Then Apollonius much abashed at the kinges talke falling downe vpon his knees answered Most gratious soueraigne your wordes sound so strangely in mine eares that I scarsly know how to giue answer your goodnesse hath been so great towardes me that I can wish for no more But since it is your Graces pleasure that I should not be indebted to many but owe all thing vnto you as life and wife honour and goods and all you shall not find me vnthankful howsoeuer God or fickle fortune deale with me to remaine both loyall and constant to you and your daughter whom aboue all creatures both for birth and beauty and good qualities I loue and honour most intirely Altistrates reioiced much to heare so wise and conformable an answere and embracing Apollonius called him by the name of deare beloued sonne The next day morning the king addressed his messengers purseuants to assemble the nobliest of his subiects frends out of the confederat cities and countries and to shew them that he had certaine affaires to communicat vnto them and when they were come altogither vnto Pentapolis after due gréeting and accustomable intertainment shewed as in the maner of great estates he said thus vnto them My louing friends and faithfull subiects my meaning was to let you vnderstand that my daughter is desirous to marrie with her schoolemaster Apollonius and I am wel pleased therwith Wherfore I beséech you all to reioyce thereat and be glad for my daughter shalbe matched to a wise man And know you moreouer that I appoint this day sir wéekes for the solemnization day of the marriage at what time I desire you all to be here present that like friends we may reioyce and make merry togither and when he had all said he dismissed the assembly Now as the time wore away so the wedding day drue néere and there was great preparation made aswell for the feast as for iewels and rich clothes to furnish the bridegrome and bride withall as althing els that appertaine to the beautifiyng of so great a wedding And when the day was come the king apparrelled in his princely robes with a diadem of great price vpon his head accompanied his daughter Lucina and Apollonius vnto the Church whom thousands of lordes and ladies followed after all cloathed in rich attire and marshalled in comely order The bride woare on a gowne of cloth of gold cut drawen out with cloth of siluer and a kirtle of crimsin veluet imbrodered with pure golde and thickly beset with orientall pearles Her haire hung downe in tresses fairely broided with a lace of gold and a Coronet vpon her head set with pretious stones of inestimable value Her necke was bare whereby her naked skinne appeared whiter than the driuen snowe curiously bedecked with chaines of golde and euery other lincke enameled with blacke amell Great baudrickes of perfect goldsmithes worke vppon eche arme to fasten the sléeues of her garment from sliding vp at the wreast Lastly a massie collar of fine golde made esse wise vppon her shoulders hanging down behinde and before with a Diamond reaching downe vnto her middle estéemed in value at thréescore thousand pound which the king her father had sent vnto her for a present that morning while she was apparrelling The bridegrome wore on a dublet and hosen of costly cloth of siluer garded with Goldsmithes worke of the same colour and a gowne of purple Satten embroidred with golde and beset with rich stones His cap was of fine blacke Ueluet all ouer bespangled with Rubies set in gold and fastned on by loopes the band of massie golde beset with courses of stones in order first a Rubie then a Turkeis then a Diamond and so beginning againe with a Rubie This was their raiment and thus went they forth togither hand in hand after whom as is already declared the lordes and ladies followed by thrée and thrée in a ranke When the solemnities were done at the Church and the wordes spoken and the Princes ioyned in marriage they returned home and went to dinner What shall I nowe speake of the noble cheare and Princely prouision for this feast And after dinner of the exquisite Musicke fine dauncing heauenly singing sweete deuising and pleasant communication among the estates I may not discourse at large of the liberall challenges made and proclaimed at the tilt barriers running at the ring ioco di can managing fierce horses running a foote and daunsing in armour And at night of the gorgeous plaies shewes disguised spéeches masks and mummeries with continuall harmony of all kindes of musicke and banquetting in all delicacie All these thinges I leaue to the consideration of them which haue seene the like in the Courts and at the weddinges of Princes where they haue seene more than my simple pen is able to describe or may be comprehended within the recital of so short an historie When night was come and reuels were ended the bride was brought to bed and Apollonius tarried not long from her where hee accomplished the duties of marriage and faire Lucina conceiued childe the same night The next daie euery man arose to feasting and iollitie for the wedding triumphes continued an whole moneth This while Lucinas bellie began to grow and as it fortuned that the lord Apollonius and his ladie on a day walked along the sea side for their disporte hée sawe a faire shippe fléeting vnder saile which hée knew well to be of his countrey and he hallowed vnto the maister whose name was Calamitus and asked of him of whence his ship was The maister answered of Tyrus Thou hast named my coūtry said Apollonius Art thou then of Tyrus said the maister yea answered Apollonius Then said the maister knowest thou one Apollonius prince of that countrey If thou doe or shalt heare of him heereafter bid him now be glad and reioyce for king Antiochus and his daughter are strooken dead with lightning from heauen And the Citie of Antiochia with all the riches and the whole kingdome are reserued for Apollonius With these words the ship being vnder saile departed Apollonius being filled with gladnes immediatly began to breake with his ladie to giue him leaue to go and receiue his kingdom But when faire Lucina heard him beginne to mooue words of departing she burst out into teares saying My Lorde if you were nowe in some farre countrie and heard say that I were néere my time to be deliuered you ought to make haste home vnto me But since you be nowe with me and know in what case I am me thinks you should not now desire to depart from me Howbeit if your pleasure be so and tarriance bréede danger and kingdomes want not heirs long as I would not perswade you to tarry so doe I request you to take me with you This discréete answere pleased Apollonius well wherefore he kissed his lady and they agréed it
